Rubric
Introduction = 4 / 5 pts.
5 - Intro provides an overview of the upcoming analysis, including what school/district/community is being analyzed, what aspects are being analyzed, and who the report is intended to inform.
4 - Intro names the school/district/community and previews the scope of the report, but does not describe who the report is intended to inform.
3 - Intro names the school/district/community but not much else.
2 - Intro fails to name the school, district, and community.
0 - No introduction section is apparent.
Constructive comments about report's introduction:
Tim, I would suggest taking a look at your copy of this rubric to really make sure you have everything. You mention that you will be analyzing the school and the community but make sure you mention that you are going to analyze the district as well. Also, Professor Fogleman mentioned making sure that the intended audience for this report are new incoming teachers so make sure that is obvious in your introduction. Tim, I looked over your report again today, 10/17. I like your last sentence but your facts that you have are really meant for the part about the school. Mention that you will be analyzing the district, community, and school, and also mention your audience! Somewhere in there give the indication that this report is intended for teachers pursuing new jobs. Also, work on making your introduction flow better; there are a lot of facts that do not really seem to connect. Oh and also, cite all of those facts! The introduction is filled with facts; cite them! Put in paranthesis either the last name of the author, a comma, and the year of publication or put in part of the title of the web page you got it from, with the publication date and comma as well.
Organization = 3/ 5 pts.
5 - Report includes an Introduction, a Conclusion, and sections for the School, District, and Community. Within each section, paragraphs logically group the information presented.
4 - Report includes all of the sections mentioned previously, but does not break down information into paragraphs within each section.
3 - Report is missing one of the sections.
2 - Report is missing more than one section.
0 - Report does not include any sections.
Strengths and constructive comments about report's organization: Make sure that you have a conclusion and that you have your references listed. You should also add more data/facts with regards to the District and the School. I think each section is supposed to have a couple of paragraphs. A lot of your data is just mentioned; you want to make it more a paper format with connecting sentences and such. Also, the facts you mention about the school, like the climate, parental involvement, and instruction should be further explained; do not just mention that the report about the climate, parental involvement, and instruction are poorly reported. Add more detail!
Mechanics = 0/ 5 pts.
5 - All information in the report is cited using APA styled- citations after the information and in a Reference section at the end of the report.

and/or

2 - Most of the report's information is not cited, or APA style was not used.
0 - Report does not include a Reference section.
Strengths and constructive comments about report's organization: In addition to adding your reference section, also make sure that you read over the paper because you have a few grammar mistakes.
Conclusion =0 / 5 pts.
5 - Conclusion reviews analysis of school, district and community and describes why findings should be important to reader.
4 - Conclusion reviews analysis of school, district and community.
3 - Conclusion does not refer back to report findings.
0 - No conclusion section is apparent.
Strengths and constructive comments about conclusion: Write your thesis! Professor Fogleman mentioned to me to acknowledge in my paper, what is the one important thing about this school that you want the audience to know? You should do that in yours. In addition, have a summary perhaps acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses about the school. End with a strong statement.
Creativity = 4/ 5 pts.
5 - Report is written in an engaging style.
4 - Report has some interesting sections.
3 - Report generally reports information without seemingly without purpose.
Strengths and constructive comments about presentation: A lot of your facts are just stated; there is not a lot of flow. The flow gets better as the paper goes on but just focus on that.
